Day 3 of the girlies

So day three was My laundry day! My sister told me I could use her washer and dryer so I took full advantage of this offer. I hauled all three kids over to my sister house to get all my laundry done. I got the kids in, we fed the cat and bird. Then I opened the back door to the wild world of DIRT! The girls took off and I did too, off to get laundry done. The girls played and got dirty and I scrap booked hung out with Brandon and Kept the wash going. I was happy! I finally got the last of the scrapbook I was doing for grandpa Steve and grandma Lorrie Done ( I am Mailing it soon!)

After a while Jessie made it Clear she was getting a little mommy and daddy sick...Now I don't say home sick...due to the fact we were at her home. I looked at the clock and hoped we would have time to call before they had left for the premier. We did and I got Jen on the phone...Of course there were tears and then happiness and excitement...Because tomorrow was talks of going to GREAT AMERICA (it is an amusement park similar to Lagoon or six flags).

Look At these dirty faces

I learned the hard way that Jessie saves her Americana clothes for great America...because its great AMERICA. I had tried to put her in one of the three Americana outfits in her suit case and she said I cant wear that it is for great America...I had to find something else! See how fun it was today!

We did fit in some swimming today. We have a pool at the Apartments and we took the floats and three kids out for a afternoon swim.

This is the face of excitement

These girls are just too cute!

After we got to the pool we got Ella and Jessie in floaty things that you sit in. They sat in them on the stairs! They were SUPER SAFE(scared). Last week Ella thought she could venture off the stairs...needless to say I had turned to deal with Brandon and that is all it took. I looked back around and she was under looking up at me...with this terrified look on her face...josh jumped back in....she hadn't even swallowed water...she was just happy to be able to breath again! That is why this time she wanted nothing to do with that water. I know we need to slowly teach her how to swim and get use to the water again so that she wont drowned. But she wanted nothing to do with the pool after a while. Brandon and Jessie on the other had were water babies and loved the water TONS. (I forgot to take the camera to the pool). Ella and I went home while the others played for about 20 more Minutes. It was a fun filled day!

Day three was fun, but wait till day four....I have great America pictures....and they are good.

Day Two....

Day two wasn’t so Exciting…We did start with a some Funny pictures of the three of them…(Brandon) is our third amigo!

Jessica is a big Fan of brandon…
she calles him Bram Bam.
its not that she doesn’t know his name!
it is that she likes that as a nick name!
Ella of course can’t resist being in Pictures or being with out Brandon…
and letting Jessie have him all to herself (she is very Jelouse).
one thing is for sure….
They both LOVE BRANDON!

Kisses all around…
and no complates about me getting thier bumms out of Bed!
As a fun thing for the girls
we bought them new jammies for this little “sleep Over”
(that is what we called it)

Well Ella’s says I didn’t do it!
Jessie’s says Princess!

The back reads Wasn’t me On Ella’s
And Jessie’s Says..Future Queen!
They actually match thier personallities!

They had baths and played, watched movies, went over to Jessie’s house and played in the dirt, and trampoline, then came home and had another bath. This made me realize how much I had been taking pictures because, after the bath Ella starts yelling Take a picture mom…
so this is what I took!

Stay tuned for day #3!

Is this Working???

Ok so a bit of frustration. I am working really hard on keeping up this blog weekly...not to mention the website but, I feel like there are only a couple of people even checking it out. Mel you are my #1 fan right now. I am starting to wonder if I am putting a lot of time and energy into something that I shouldn't be. Am I just hoping that the family is checking it out...or are people really checking it out? I have been feeling guilty that josh's family (Not to mention my parents and Brothers) are not getting to see the kids grow up...and we are not able to visit as often as we all would like. I am starting to wonder if this site is even being viewed????

Should I quit or are there people really wanting to view my blog and site?

This is just me venting frustrating...off to shower!

Thought I would leave you with a picture!

Huh?

Kids say the darndest things.....
Today while changing Brandons diaper, my niece ( shes 3) walks up to me and says... Debbie why does brandon have two belly buttons????

I laughed...

then I said that isnt a belly button...that is where Brandon goes peepee from....

She said Nuh uh!

I said uh huh....

that is why his is a boy...

I had to show her that he had a bum just like her but that, that is the only place he could pee from...

She Giggled....

and that was the end of that!

Oh Husband.....

So here is the story…
I heard a while back…I am not sure on which show or cartoon, someone saying “Oh husband man” and as a term of enderment (or like one of those scary freakish cartoon charactors trying to catch thier newly found husband who was to out of it to know what they were marrying as those woman yell ” oh husband Man” as the men are running away). I say “oh husband” to josh as a joke when I call him to ask him something or get his attention…just being silly. I guess I say it alot because, we were in the car the other day going to the store and from the back of the car I here in a panicked voice say “HUSBAND HUSBAND“. Ella was dropping something and I guess the only thing she could think of to say for help was husband! I of course start laughing at the cutest little thing our daughter just said. Josh wasn’t sure what to do and was a little startled at the comment and says Ella I am your daddy! (I guess he was worried that people might find that strange)! I explained to her that Josh was my husband and that Josh was her daddy…then she yells out that I was “ella’s mommy” and that she was “Ella’s Ella”! Of course on that we said yes and she was quite happy with the situation. Kids are so cute…it is amasing what the pick up on and what say!

Will Power

So at Brandons 6 month check up We got the ok for Brandon to get Juice…He LOVED the apple juice that I gave to him and let him drink about 3 ounces of watered down Apple juice. After giving it to him I put that bottle between his legs in his car seat…I didnt see it as a problem because I have seen him pick up things but never his bottle! So I knew that he couldn’t get it he wasn’t strong enough yet to pick it up and had never held his own bottle EVER. I guess that he more than LOVED the juice because I turned around to see him reach down grab the bottle and started chugging the rest with out a care in the world and quite content to hold the bottle himself!
With NO PROBLEMS WHAT SO EVER!!!
Little Turkey!

Words out...

Ok so I finally think I have gotten this blog and our family web site out to the family and friends. I have been working so hard to make it nice and to get you all a lot of pictures and discriptions of what is going on in our family. I hope that you share it with the Family and invite them to come and see it and to see the web site. I have tried NOT to miss any one but there are people that I dont have info on. So please dont feel like you were not invited...That is why I made this to keep us all up to date on the family. So pass it on and keep comming back I am going to keep it updated weekly!!!

WE love you all!
